Fast Removal of Cu (II) from Aqueous Solutions by PET Nanofibrous Membrane Modified with Acryamide

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel nanofibrous membrane was used for removing Cu (II) from aqueous solutions. The poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) membranes were fabricated by electrospinning, and then grafted with acrylamide (AM) on the surface. The morphologies of the nanofiber was characterized by SEM, meanwhile, the chemical composition and element analysis on the membrane surface were measured by FT-IR and XPS, respectively. The Cu (II) adsorption experiment investigated the adsorption performance related to the pH value on. Equilibrium studies show that the adsorption process follows Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to be 183.25 [mg/g].
